ASCII decoding error: mailpasswds

[Pheinlein-users]

We still have a *LOT* of those "ASCII decoding errors". Here`s
a new one -- it isn`t possible to send out password reminders
any more:

ilpostino:/etc # /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds", line 226, in ?

    text += (header + '\n' + NL.join(table))
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

Maybe it depends to # 755 188

This is related to 755188 but it's a different bug (as that
one's been fixed). I believe this one is triggered by
having an address in the member database that is a unicode
object, not a string object. The address contains only
ascii characters though.

The fix for 755188 was to addr.encode() before putting it in
the admin.py table. The fix for this one might be similar.

Fixed in mailpasswds 2.17
